[PAULUS libro nono decimo responsorum. ] §48.5.41.prQuaesitum est, an ea, quam maritus adulterii crimine se accusaturum minatus est nec quicquam egit uel iure mariti uel iure publico, nubere possit ei, quem in ea reum adulterii destinauit.
[PAULUS, Responsas, Book XIX.] It was asked whether a woman whom her husband threatened to accuse of the crime of adultery, but did not take any action either by the right of a husband or by public right, could marry the man whom the husband had designated as the defendant of adultery in her case.
Paulus respondit nihil impedire, quo minus ei, quem suspectum maritus habuit, ea de qua quaeritur nubere possit.
Paulus responded that nothing prevents the woman in question from marrying the man whom her husband held under suspicion.
§48.5.41.1Item quaeritur, an idem maritus destitisse uideatur uel lenocinium commisisse, qui eandem reduxit uxorem.
Likewise, it is asked whether the same husband is deemed to have abandoned the suit or to have committed pandering, who took back the same wife.
Paulus respondit eum, qui post crimen adulteri intentatum eandem uxorem reduxit, destitisse uideri et ideo ex eadem lege postea accusandi ei ius non superesse.
Paulus responded that he who, after the accusation of adultery was attempted, took back the same wife, is deemed to have abandoned the suit, and therefore no right of accusing later under the same law remains to him.
